Oh yeah. If you're saying that only now, you might have missed the 
earlier-posted "Too Blue." Dan's miracle-drummer, brother Tim, is back! 
(He's got extremely relaxed time, and he "gits it." The whole new CD will 
have real drums.) It's a much better mix than what I posted here before. 
That one was so bad, it inspired Joe D to try to sell me and Dan some 
studio services.  :-)  Vocal has now been "tuned-up" with the new, miracle 
plugin "V-Vocal" (by Roland). But Dan made me keep the super-wide vibrato 
on it, saying it's part of the, er, fun. I do love this song, but I think 
I'm the only one.   :-)

More then? What sound are we looking for? I'm an amateur. I compressed it 
only enough to keep it from red-lining.

What kind of speakers are you listening on, John? The thing was thumpin' 
until I switched to my Event studio monitors, at which point I had to 
really boost the bass! Are you talking low-low, like ~60-80 Hz? He insists 
on that being strong. Or above? Your feedback is always appreciated.
